I’m disgusted right now. Absolutely disgusted.

A good friend of mine by the name of Carrie is a Marine and she’s also been fighting cancer. Today, she was on her way home with her young daughter from one of her treatments when two people approached her and wanted to know why she was a Marine.

Why she was a murderer, war monger, and baby-killer.

Calmly, she tried to explain what she and her fellow Marines do. They wouldn’t listen.

For people supposedly “Anti-War / Violence” - what they did next was inexcusable. The man shoved her up against a wall and spit on her. His wife, girlfriend - whatever slapped her and spit on her as well.

What did Carrie do? Nothing but look at them sadly as they laughed at what they did and hurled hateful slurs at her.

Her poor little girl was forced to watch these freaks assault her Mommy in her uniform. She’s a very smart, very precocious little girl and wanted to know why someone would do this to her Mommy. Didn’t they know Mommy and the other Marines help protect people every day? Carrie didn’t know what to tell her. (Since then she’s found a song that might help.)

Another friend just returned from the Middle East himself. He said it’s a no-win situation. They go over and risk their lives for people that hate them. They come home and find the same hatred waiting for them. It still puzzles him, but he’s getting so he just shrugs it off.

What a wonderful country we live in. And I mean that sarcastically.

Of all the applications I’ve put in, none of them have any interesting in hiring me. They’re not hiring at this time or they’re actually downsizing. I’ve been dragging my feet on applying for Medicaid… every election year, some wanker in Washington DC or Lansing begins talkking about doing away it it and/or Medicare. There’s been absolutely no bites on the house and Mom has done her usual when it comes to the Home Loan. *grumbles* Jasson and I have been spending lots of time downstairs cleaning, organizing, and making piles of crap we don’t need anymore. I’ve decided that unless Bush does something really special - besides his usual war-mongering - I’ll vote for anyone it takes to get him out of office. This economy sucks ass and he’s doing nothing to help.

On a high note, I’ve been approved for low-cost perscription programs from my medication’s manufacturers. I now have a three months supply of both medications for only $5 each. They’ve also mailed me the refill papers so I can get those filled out when this supply wears out.

Thanks for telling me that, tiakall. I found the 4images layouts on their site; so I’ll look through those when I have a bit more time. I remember Jatol ^_^ They lost out on being my host by a small margin, but I’m still considering them for my big site.
